T0 WHOM IT MAY GYONCERN:v

Be it vknown that I, MATHIAS PENNING, of Leavenworth City, in the county oi' Leavenworth, and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Plou-ghs and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use tlievsame,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of' this specification, in which-f Figures 1 and 2 are respectively'a plan and side viemof 5my improvements. l Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. A This invention consists in the arrangement of the parts as hereinafter` described. A is. the Coulter, which is forined with a horizontal extension, B, bolted to the land-side. ment the coulter is more firmly attached to the land-side, and is found to operate in a very satisfactory I nanner. e is a plate, with two eyes, a a. A rod, E, provided with a link, m, and passing through an eye-bolt, n, connects with the plate e, as shown. A clip, t, attached to the plough-handle G, hooks into the eye a of the plate e. By this arrangement the handle G is held tightly and prevented from becoming loose.. I The plate e also prevents the upright, d, which passes through it and the plough-beam H, from wearing al holle in the latter. The rod E may be used in connection with the clevis, if' desired, lfor attaching the team.

By practical trial this arrangement of parts has been proven to operate in a satisfactory manner. A

By this arrange v I am ,aware that ploughs have been made r'exnol these devices broadly; but

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v The combination and arrangement of the coulter A, having a horizontal extension, B, bolted to the landside, therod E, eye-bolt n, eye-platee, clip b, upright, d, plough-handle G, and plongh-heainI-I, all constructed and operating substantially as and for thepurpose shown and described.
